Abstract :
In a study of the development of atherosclerotic lesions, we investigate convective diffusion along the wall of a modeled arterial bifurcation. Under boundary layer assumptions, the resulting set of equations is transformed into a form to which we can apply Laplace transforms. The result is two integral relationships between the species flux through the wall and its concentration at the wall, one of which appears to be new.
